MOSCOW, March 13. /TASS/. The Tagansky Court in Moscow fined Google 4 million rubles ($43,667) for failure to fulfill its obligations to limit access to prohibited information, a court official told TASS.
"Google LLC. was found guilty of committing an administrative offense under Part 2 of Article 13.50 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (failure by the owner of a social network to fulfill the obligation to monitor and (or) take measures to limit access to information), he was sentenced to an administrative fine in the amount of 4 million rubles," the official said.
In February 2021, the law on self-control of social networks came into effect in Russia. The law obliges platforms to independently identify and block illegal content.
